In a warming climate, the ability to accurately predict and track shifting environmental
conditions will be fundamental for plant survival. Environmental cues define the transitions …

The rate of meiotic recombination is one of the central factors determining genome-wide
levels of linkage disequilibrium which has important consequences for the efficiency of natural …

Background Entering and exiting winter dormancy present important trade-offs between
growth and survival at northern latitudes. Many forest trees display local adaptation across …

Fast-growing poplars have the potential to improve the biomass supply required for the
transition to bio-based economies in the Nordic-Baltic region. As early successional trees, …

The rate of meiotic recombination is one of the central factors determining levels of linkage
disequilibrium and the efficiency of natural selection, and many organisms show a positive …

Small and structured populations are problematic for breeding due to low levels of genetic
variability and increased levels of linkage disequilibrium (LD). The increased LD causes …

Background The initiation of growth cessation and dormancy represent critical life-history
trade-offs between survival and growth and have important fitness effects in perennial plants. …
